Burke's Facts.

In the Times Democrat Of Novem-
Der Oath appears a very neat little
address delivered BY E. A. Burke,
at Lake Charles. a few days since.
In his opening remarks he lays great
stress upon the statement that what
he says are FACTS, not political ar
guments. Well, we think they are
decidedly the latter. One example
will suffice. He said "the State
credit has been raised from So to 80
cents, y y and for the first time in
the history Of this State we find in
1854 the appropriations are within
the revenues" Turning over to the
financial column Of this same paper

great prosperity Of the State gets a

are persons in this parish who still
cling to the idea that Governor
McEnery did really build the levees.
A friend who recently visited
remote sections Of Assumption in.
forms us that he had met with an
old settler laboring under this i'm.
preston. On being asked by our
informant if he had paid his taxes
and could produce the receipts
therefore, he replied in the aHirma.
tive. Whercupon he was pointed
out the amour, Of levee tax he had
paid, and was Informed then and

the other taxpayers had built the

Mr.. E. G. Bruffey, Of the Atlanta
Constitution, has been instrumental
in defining the legal rights Of news.
paper men in some important res.
poets more clearly than they have
ever before been settled. The st.
Louis Republican summarizes Mr..
Bruffey's case as follows
In the case of e. C. Bruffey, a
newspaper man of Atlanta, imprison,
ed for contempt for refusing to
divalge the source of certain in.
formation, a decision has been rem
dered recognizing the right Of the
newspaper to respect professional
confidence. The court held that
Mr.. BruAey should not be CON-
PEELED to bring himself into disgrace
and public contempt, as would be
the case if he violated a professional
confidence. Newspaper men are
frequently imprisoned for the same
cause and frequently released after
a time, but this decision probably
goes further to establish their pro,
fessional right to hold confidence
inviolate than any before rendered.
The Republican gives a correct
estimate of the decision in the
Burnley case. Mr.. Brufey is entitled
to the thanks of the newspaper
men Of this country for his cour
ageous and successful defense of his
professional rights. His conduct il
this matter proved that he was
faithful to the newspaper. he rep
%resents, true to his relations to thu
public as a gatherer Of news, and de
termined to stand up to his duty a:

defined lines of conscientious con
duct, Mr.. Bruffey Las done mucl
